The intention is to introduce you to the people who have been carving their own path...with no care for what anybody thinks.

We try not to post things that are still for sale but sometimes post things that are not easily available. If you like what you hear, then find these people and tell them how great they are.

Better still, tell them and then seek out their new releases and buy them. We add links, when they are reliable and active, so that you can keep track if you so wish.

Always go straight to the artist or the label where possible. That way, the money goes straight to the people responsible for this art. These people rely on our support to keep going and make more quality releases!

Please feel free to leave comments as you go along...at least then we know you appreciate this stuff (or otherwise) and you're not just a bunch of freeloading file collectors.

If you made this music and we have pissed you off by posting any of this, please leave a comment in the post and the offending articles will be removed.

"Killed By Bass" (is the title supposed to be a riff on the "Killed By Death" punk comps?) is a Japanese collection of speaker-busting absurdity, issued in 1997 by P-Vine. Take the title seriously; this CD is designed to test the limits of your sub-woofer and shake the pictures off your neighbors' walls. It includes tracks by Sonic Plate alumnus Kucknake (as himself, and also under the pseudonyms Da Bass Psyclonez and Subdisco), experimental turntablist L?K?O, and other names that are new to me: Smurf Otoko Gumi, Moodman, and Afro Hard Core.
